Fair Fares NYC is a City program created by Mayor Bill de Blasio, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, and members of the City Council to help people who live in New York City with low incomes manage their transportation costs. With the Fair Fares NYC discount, eligible New York City residents ride for half the regular cost. Back to Top 2. How does Fair Fares NYC work? Fair Fares NYC allows you to receive a 50% discount on subway and eligible bus fares or Access-A-Ride fares. Subways and Buses With your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard, you will be able to ride the subway and eligible buses for half price! Pay-per-ride, weekly unlimited and monthly unlimited options are all available in Fair Fares NYC. If you apply and are eligible for Fair Fares NYC and you select the subway and bus discount, the City will give you a Fair Fares NYC MetroCard. The Fair Fares NYC MetroCard you receive will not have any time or value on it. You must add time or value to your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard once you receive it. When you add time to your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard, you will be charged half the current price for the unlimited weekly or monthly option. When you add value, you will add the amount you choose to your card and the bus fare box or subway turnstile will deduct half the current fare. This means, if you add $10.00 dollars to your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard you will have the whole $10.00 on your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard. Each time you swipe your card, you will only be charged half the current price for a single ride. You can use cash at subway station booths and cash, debit card, credit card, or your EBT card at MTA MetroCard vending machines to add time or value to your Fair Fares NYC MetroCard. The MTA vending machines are located in subway stations throughout the City.

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • New York City's MTA Exposed!
    New York City's MTA Exposed! Joseph Battaglia [email protected] http://www.sephail.net Originally appearing in 2600 Magazine, Spring 2005 Introduction In this article, I will explain many of the inner workings of the New York City Transit Authority fare collection system and expose the content of MetroCards. I will start off with a description of the various devices of the fare collection system, proceeding into the details of how to decode the MetroCard©s magnetic stripe. This article is the result of many hours of experimentation, plenty of cash spent on MetroCards (you©re welcome, MTA), and lots of help from several people. I©d like to thank everyone at 2600, Off The Hook, and all those who have mailed in cards and various other information. Becoming familiar with how magnetic stripe technology works will help you understand much of what is discussed in the sections describing how to decode MetroCards. More information on this, including additional recommended reading, can be found in ªMagnetic Stripe Readingº also in this issue. Terms These terms will be used throughout the article: FSK - Frequency Shift Keying A type of frequency modulation in which the signal©s frequency is shifted between two discrete values. MVM - MetroCard Vending Machine MVMs can be found in every subway station. They are the large vending machines which accept cash in addition to credit and debit. MEM - MetroCard Express Machine MEMs are vending machines that accept only credit and debit. They are often located beside a batch of MVMs. MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority A public benefit corporation of the State of New York responsible for implementing a unified mass transportation policy for NYC and counties within the "Transportation District".

  • • the Activation of OMNY Readers at the Queensboro Plaza Station in Queens Marks the Completion of the Line and the Halfway Po
    The activation of OMNY readers at the Queensboro Plaza station in Queens marks the completion of the line and the halfway point in the MTA's effort to activate OMNY at all 472 subway stations in the system. OMNY installation remains set to be completed by the end of the year at all subway stations and on all MTA-operated buses. A list of all subway stations and bus routes where OMNY is currently in use is at this link: https://omny.info/system-rollout In March, the MTA announced OMNY had surpassed 10 million taps. In 2021, the MTA will introduce an OMNY card at retail locations throughout the New York region. Also in 2021, the MTA will begin to install new vending machines at locations throughout the system. OMNY readers accept contactless cards from companies such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Following the completion of OMNY installation at all subway turnstiles and on buses, the MTA will introduce all remaining fare options, including unlimited ride passes, reduced fares, student fares, and more. Only after OMNY is fully available everywhere MetroCard is today, expected in 2023, will the MTA say goodbye to the MetroCard. The MetroCard was first tested in the system in 1993, debuting to the larger public in January 1994. All turnstiles were MetroCard-enabled by May 1997 and all buses began accepting it by the end of 1995. Tokens were sold until April 2003 and acceptance was discontinued that May in subway stations and that December on buses.

  • Audit Announcement – Date: March 25, 2010 FTA’S Oversight of Major Transit Projects in New York City Project Number 10U3011M000
    Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: INFORMATION: Audit Announcement – Date: March 25, 2010 FTA’s Oversight of Major Transit Projects in New York City Project Number 10U3011M000 From: Joseph W. Comé Reply to Attn. of: JA-40 Assistant Inspector General for Surface and Maritime Program Audits To: Federal Transit Administrator The Office of Inspector General (OIG) plans to conduct a series of audits of the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) oversight of the following major transit projects in New York City: the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Fulton Street Transit Center, Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access projects, and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey's (Port Authority) Trans-Hudson (PATH) Terminal project. In recent years, FTA has provided funding totaling over $7 billion for these complex, high-profile transit projects. They have been approved for a combination of Lower Manhattan Recovery, New Starts, and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. The ARRA funding allocated to three of these projects is significant—$700 million out of FTA's total ARRA funding of $8.4 billion. So far, these four projects, in total, have experienced billions in cost overruns and years of schedule delays. For example, the PATH Terminal's estimated costs increased from $2 billion to $3 billion, and the estimated completion date has been pushed out from April 2012 to June 2014. Vigilant FTA oversight of these transit projects is critical to maximizing the return on the significant Federal investment and completing them in a timely manner.

  • NY WATERWAY FERRIES ARE BEST ALTERNATIVE to PATH WEEKEND CLOSURE to WORLD TRADE CENTER --- Reduced Weekend Fares and Monthly Pass Includes Weekend Service
    FROM: NY WATERWAY Weehawken, NJ 07086 Contact: Pat Smith: (212) 843-8026 / [email protected] MEDIA ADVISORY NY WATERWAY FERRIES ARE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO PATH WEEKEND CLOSURE TO WORLD TRADE CENTER --- Reduced Weekend Fares and Monthly Pass Includes Weekend Service NY Waterway’s reduced-priced Weekend Ferry Service to Midtown and Downtown Manhattan out of Weehawken, Hoboken and Jersey City is the best alternative when there are changes or disruptions to the public transport system into New York City. For example, ferry passengers can get from the Hoboken/NJ TRANSIT Terminal or Harborside in Jersey City to West 39th Street in Manhattan in 10 minutes for just $7 on weekends. Free NY Waterway buses are waiting at West 39th Street to take passengers on routes through Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. Monthly NY Waterway pass-holders pay no additional fare to ride any ferry route on weekends, a great way to visit the new Hudson Yards and climb the iconic Vessel or enjoy other Manhattan attractions. Visit nywaterway.com/weekends for more information. For the next year, the Port Authority is suspending weekend PATH service between Exchange Place in Jersey City and the World Trade Center. On weekends, PATH personnel distribute special round-trip ferry tickets at Exchange Place in Jersey City. These tickets can be used only on NY Waterway’s Harborside to Brookfield Place/Battery Park City ferry route. The Harborside Ferry Landing is a short walk from the Exchange Place PATH station. For riders going to New Jersey on weekends, PATH personnel are distributing the round- trip ferry tickets at the World Trade Center PATH station in the Oculus.
